$15.00
For centuries, the vibrant hues of Aker Fassi have been steeped in history and magic. Originating in Morocco, Aker Fassi is a natural blend of dried poppy petals and pomegranate peel, celebrated for its vivid red pigment. More than just a cosmetic, it has been a symbol of vitality, beauty, and connection to the divine. In Moroccan traditions, women used this sacred powder not only to adorn their lips and cheeks but also as part of rituals for protection and allure. The red stain, reminiscent of blood, speaks to the cycles of life, passion, and transformation—core elements of both magic and nature.
But Aker Fassi is more than an ancient beauty ritual; it resonates with the historical relationship between cosmetics and witchcraft. From ancient Egypt to medieval Europe, painted lips and cheeks were tools of transformation, often regarded as acts of sorcery. Lipstick, particularly in shades of red, was believed to "glamour" or enchant, giving the wearer an aura of power and mystery. During the witch trials, women who wore bold colors were sometimes accused of using makeup as a means to cast spells or seduce through supernatural means.
Our modern interpretation of Aker Fassi lip gloss, which is flavored with a burst of juicy pomegranate, channels this dual history—celebrating beauty as both adornment and a magical act. This product, with its versatile and buildable formula, offers a connection to the ancient practice of using natural pigments while embracing the transformative power of modern witchcraft.
For witches and sorcerers today, makeup can be a powerful ritual tool. Use this Aker Fassi gloss as part of your daily glamour magic:
- Apply it to invoke confidence and passion.
- Use its red stain in rituals that honor the divine or channel vitality.
- Include it in spellwork for attraction, power, or creativity.
Aker Fassi reminds us that the act of painting our lips is more than aesthetic—it is an ancient practice of self-expression, empowerment, and enchantment. By embracing this legacy, we tap into the timeless power of transformation that makeup and magic share.
